Project Plan for a Homestead From Scratch
Advanced
Eddie & I are starting our homestead quite literally from scratch. We bought land that has no structures at all ... not a cabin, a barn, not even a fence. No utilities -- no water, electric, gas ... nothing. Not even an outhouse. We really ARE starting from scratch. It is going to be a LONG row to hoe and it will take years to make it fully operational. Come join us on this incredible journey! Click the link below (below the photos) to see what we are planning THIS year. While you are there, look for the link to "A Homestead From Scratch" in the first paragraph to see what we have already accomplished in years passed. That will get you all caught up! Glad to have you following!
Repairing the road.
Marking the borders.
Our luxury accommodations.
Planting fruit trees.
Stocking the ponds with bass & catfish.
Looking forward together!

Thanks!!! I've just gotten bit by the homestead bug and am currently in the planning stages of what the most important things are (other than land of course). First on my list is construct a portable bathroom. haha. Oh and if you put bay leaves around your bathroom, it'll keep bugs out! Least that's what I've heard.

My wife and I have just purchased over 10 rural acres in Texas. Since we know hardly anything except desire, (smile) we will be following you closely.
